very February, the University of Mississippi unites to honor the past and celebrate the progress of black Americans in recognition of Black History Month. The month of balancing joyous festivity with deliberate awareness began with the Opening Ceremony in Fulton Chapel on Thursday evening. Two selections from the Grammy-nominated UM Gospel Choir kicked off the event, leading the audience in rhythmic clapping and celebratory song. In his brief welcoming, Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter said, “Throughout February and early March, we are going to have many opportunities to reflect upon the tremendous value of diversity in our culture.” Terrence Johnson, senior journalism major and president of the Men of Excellence, then took the stage to speak on the importance of celebrating Black
History Month. “Black history did not begin with slavery, and it is still happening,” Johnson said. Johnson emphasized the fact that history includes all people of all races, genders and sexualities. “When we say that we are rooting for everyone black, we need to also understand that that includes black men and The Grammy Award-winning Gospel Choir performs during the Black History Month opening ceremony. women who are mother’s most common part of the LGBT+ phrases from when he community,” he said. was a child at these Brian Foster, the familial gatherings, keynote speaker and expressions like “Don’t assistant professor of y’all be running in and sociology and Southern out of the house lettin’ studies, reinforced the that good air out” and significance of unity in “Y’all better fix your his speech. face before I fix it for Foster began by you.” These filled the flashing weathered audience with laughter. photos of his family After telling these reunions on the stories, Foster pointed screen.

County zoning updates and an annexation proposal by the city of Oxford could bring big changes to the surrounding area in an effort to catch up with the city’s recent growth. The Lafayette County Board of Supervisors passed a new zoning ordinance that was adopted Jan. 18, and the Oxford Board of Aldermen is considering an annexation plan that would expand the city’s reach by about 12 square miles.
but not all of it. If annexation passes, the space marked “University of Mississippi property” in Area 5 of the annexation map will be a part of the city rather than the county, where it currently sits.

The University of Mississippi likely will not be directly affected by any of the changes, but Hollowell said Ole Miss students may benefit indirectly. “Pairing compatible uses, requiring property upkeep and helping control the exponential growth that has created a strain on our existing infrastructure, the zoning ordinance will benefit everyone who lives, works or attends school in Lafayette County,” Hollowell said. The main portion of the Ole Miss campus currently sits within the city limits,
